| |Mrs Jones is a single-working mother. She has two children, Jojo aged 3 and Zoe aged 18 months. When she goes to work, she | | |

| |leaves her children in the care of her 70-year-old mother. The children are very active and they always run all over the | | |

| |house. Their elderly grandmother finds it difficult to stop them chasing each other in the house. | | |

| | | | |

| |One day, Mrs Jones forgot to remove the iron from the plug after she had finished ironing. The iron remained plugged on the | | |

| |socket for the whole day. While the children were playing and running uncontrollably as usual, Jojo accidentally pulled the | | |

| |iron from where it was still plugged to the socket on the wall. The iron fell onto the baby's head. Zoe screamed so loudly | | |

| |that her grandmother came running to check what had happened. She noticed that Zoe had immediately turned pale and that her | | |

| |forehead had started swelling. Mrs Jones was called from work. She took Zoe to the hospital for treatment. Zoe was | | |

| |hospitalised for a week. | | |
